Postfix+Dovecot on Ubuntu 11.10

**nonaimer** · December 18th, 2011

Hello,

I am trying to configure my postfix server for two weeks now... no luck.
I tried over 10 different tutorials and none of them seem to help me. The closest I got to working, was with courier, but it does not support encoded passwords in mysql.

I keep getting different errors, and I think im getting close to a state of giving up.

The latest postfix/dovecot2 configuration gives me this error:
"postfix/master tlsmgr: permission denied"

Please help me out, I really need to set up a mail server so I can move on with my other projects

---
I also uncommented "tlsmgr" line in master.cf in /etc/postfix

vmail user uid/gid is 5000, homedir - /hdd/1/mail

My current main.cf file looks like this:

Code:

virtual_mailbox_base = /hdd/1/mail
virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
virtual_transport = virtual
virtual_minimum_uid = 5000
virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
virtual_gid_maps = static:5000
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix

smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache

dovecot.conf:

Code:

disable_plaintext_auth = no
mail_location = maildir:/hdd/1/mail/%d/%n
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
first_valid_uid = 5000

    }
